Suppressing derived parts in drawing views

I have been asked by my users to write an addin to selectively suppress derived parts in drawing views. Let me run a scenario by you and somebody please tell me if this is even possible or not. If it is possible, please help point me in the right direction.

 

SCENARIO: I have an assembly that contains multiple derived parts. I have several different drawings that have views that reference this assembly. I want to suppress all the derived parts contained in the assembly in all the views of Drawing #1. I do not want to suppress the derived parts contained in the assembly in the views of Drawing #2. Is this possible? It is my understanding that the suppression occurrs at the component definition level so I would not be able to have derived parts suppressed in one drawing and not the other if both drawings reference the same assembly.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance!
